HC Deb 24 March 1999 vol 328 c283W
14. Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if she will make a statement on the impact of the euro on north-south relationships in the island of Ireland. [76692]

Mr. Paul Murphy

Northern Ireland is unique in that it is the only part of the United Kingdom with a border to the euro-zone. It is very early to be definitive about the impact of the euro, but in the short term it is likely to be limited.
